The GHOSTBUSTERS are back in service

[Jerry007]

From comingsoon.net:

Columbia Pictures has set "The Office" co-executive producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a "Ghostbusters" film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.

Eisenberg and Stupnitsky just wrote The Year One, a comedy that was directed by Ramis. Ramis with Aykroyd wrote the first two installments of the films. Ivan Reitman directed both the 1984 original and the sequel that was released in 1989.

Ghostbusters was Columbia's highest grossing film ever, until it was beaten by Men in Black and then Spider-Man. An attempt to make a third installment of the franchise was stymied in the dealmaking stage.

No deals will be made with the original cast until the script is ready.

While waiting for this third Ghostbusters movie, gamers are looking forward to Ghostbusters The Video Game. Hopefully, the game comes out in 2008.

Hmm... There was this Extreme Ghostbusters animation series some years back. It featured a younger generation of ghostbusters. Seriously, I do hope the movie producers are not knocking on the setting from the Extreme series.

From comingsoon.net:

Last week, it was announced that "The Office" co-executive producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky were hired by Columbia Pictures to write a script for Ghostbusters 3, but the question remained whether Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson will be back.

Chicago Tribune's Pop Machine received an e-mail from Ramis explaining the situation:

"yes, columbia is developing a script for GB3 with my [Year One] writing partners, gene stupnitsky and lee eisenberg. judd apatow is co-producing [Year One] and has made several other films for sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. aykroyd, ivan reitman and i are consulting at this point, and according to dan, bill murray is willing to be involved on some level. he did record his dialogue for the new ghostbusters video game, as did danny and i, and ernie hudson. the concept is that the old ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity.

 

[dankoo]

no Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudso...no GB...maybe the younger movie goers will not miss anything...

 

[xfiles_wolvie]

errm, its a love hate realtionship?

having them back is like classic touch. but having them back would mean seeing old man running around chasing CGI. hmm. they better think of a solution..maybe a mixed. old men handing over to new men.

yeah i like mashmellow man also. hehehe. i know him before i knw the candy.

 

[ExK]

they do need young people to 'step up' the youth factor of the old franchise ... lindsay lohan, tatum channing, shia lebouf etc and a cameo by michael phelps will sure help .

 

[xfiles_wolvie]

hahaha mike phelps. wats the buzz abt him anyway? heheh.

lindsay lohan and hilary duff, i prefer hillary. tatum channing is in another show right? cant rem the name. saw the trailer.

This is just plain boring......US making remakes of old movies over and over.....if not remakes of their old movies, its remakes of other countries good movies and make them worse...

Ghostbusters wont be the same without the original gang. And they oredi had tummies in Ghostbusters 1 and 2. Also dun think any comedic actresses can carry the roles.
